Derfner Judaica Museum + The Art Collection at Hebrew Home at Riverdale is pleased to announce our upcoming exhibition, Nature’s Persistence: Recent Work by Shelley Haven. It features twenty-three paintings, pastels, and drawings that map the geologic history of rocks, cliffs, canyons, and ravines with layers of line, form, color, and tone. Haven, who lives in the Bronx and works on location and in her studio in Yonkers, finds the complexity of rock formations a compelling inspiration that expresses nature’s resilient response to the challenges of time.
